Does anyone else remember the media circus over Math Barbie? 
Well, last week a report published in the British medical journal BMJ indicated that Dr. Andrew Wakefield's 1998 study linking the MMR vaccine and autism was "an elaborate fraud."
But will the news that Wakefield's study has been thoroughly discredited stop Jenny McCarthy from spreading the gospel of anti-vaccinations? Of course not!
Jenny's organization, Generation Rescue, posted an update saying that the news was "much ado about nothing" and that the "mainstream media frenzy" was just a "vaccine-industry funded media circus."
Which of course prompted an uproar on blogs, Facebook, and twitter. Way to stop a media circus, Jenny.
All we know is that we don't tend to take health or parenting advice from pin-up girls. Because what's next--Pamela Anderson in charge of global warming? Katy Perry brokering a global arms treaty?? Science Barbie on irrigation???
